Actor Tom Hanks and Anthony Joshua met for the first time on national TV and the two clearly got on like a house on fire – Joshua showed that boxers can be very sharp in the humor department too – not just famous actors.

Joshua is doing the media rounds at the moment despite no formal announcement just yet for his next fight.

It is expected next week to be revealed as WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker.

The bout is thought to take place on March 31st at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
